Oscar Pistorius challenges terms of bail

The lawyers of Oscar Pistorius, who faces trial for the alleged premeditated killing of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, will today challenge the terms of his bail restrictions.

The Paralympian is unlikely, however, to appear in court.

Yesterday, Oscar’s brother Carl pleaded not guilty to a charge of culpable homicide or negligent killing for the death of a female motorcyclist in a road accident in 2008.

The appearance in court of Carl Pistorius comes a day before his brother Oscar challenges the bail conditions that were imposed on him last month.

Oscar’s next court appearance is scheduled for June.

He faces trial for the alleged premeditated killing of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
